There are a lot of aging MMOs that are skipped over by many players simply because they lack a graphical look for today's world. In our latest Tingle's Touchy Subjects, we take a look at the need for HD remakes of some of the genre's classic titles. Read on before heading to the comments to leave your thoughts.

HD remakes, love them or loathe them, are coming thick and fast. Whether it is Nintendo repacking the pointy ears of a decade old game, or instead Sony pumping out 'collection' after 'collection', the revamp of old software is becoming quite the force.

Id love trying some of these older games on here veteran players love. The sticking point for me is the ugly graphics with these older games. I would surely try Asheron's Call, Everquest, Ultima Online, and Vanguard if they had a HD remake.

Help us old/less hip gamers out here, I had to Google "HD remake" to even know what this was talking about.

Was it that difficult to put High Definition in the opening paragraph before using the abbreviation?

I've been saying this for YEARS! Give me AC, or EQ with modern graphics and I will go back today! I'll gladly pay for a double expansion and resub. Especially if they revert changes that have made the games too "casual friendly" over the years. Old school servers would be perfect!

Graphics are the ONLY reason I cant stay for long when I revisit these games. I spend the whole time I'm back saying "If only they would redo this game with Cry Engine 3".

I would be interested in mostly Rolemaster Magestorm. Probably not that many people know what Rolemaster Magestorm is (best thing is to just google search), but it was essentially a magic based pvp roleplaying game with 3 factions, and 4 different classes, maps where instanced, each class had specializations. Matches were structured like battlegrounds with a team domination format. I started playing it around 1995 I believe. I am surprised it never turned into anything larger. Probably because Mythic Entertainment got to greedy.

What? I've never seen that expression before, ever, anywhere, so had no frame of reference.

Never assume your audience knows what a specific abbreviation means, first rule of proper reporting at my firm.

18 THOUSAND posts, 7 years on this gaming forum...everything to do with movies and video for the last 10 years, you work at some type of news/reporting firm..and you've never seen the abbreviation HD before.

If you don't know what HD is by now....you're not their audience. [mod edit]

This is impossible. I literally don't know a single person (regardless of age) who doesn't know what HD is. Everything is HD these days, mobile phone screens, movies, TV, video games, youtube . . . just literally anything that has a display has gone HD.

They're currently moving to Ultra HD (UHD) just FYI. I mean, are you using a CRT monitor from the 90''s to browse MMORPG.com? I'm going to be confused for the rest of the day because of this, I just can't fathom it. Not even a little.
